Fourth Master's childhood sweetheart

Chapter 61
Since the first thunderstorm started, the weather in the capital city has become increasingly hot.

Not yet in Sanfu, when Tong Jia Xili was lying under the window and looking out, he seemed to be able to smell the grass and trees curled up by the sun.

The chirping of cicadas and the sound of cicadas are also almost uninterrupted from morning to night, all announcing the fact that summer has arrived.

Tao Yao came back from the outside, when she first entered the room her face was red and she was covered with a thin layer of sweat.

"It's so hot outside."

Taoyao held the water lilies brought from the greenhouse in her hand, and put them on the table.

There is a basin of ice cubes on the side of the table case, which was originally carved into a pattern of magpies climbing plum blossoms.But after putting it on for a while, it's starting to melt.

"It's still cool here in Gege." Tao Yao leaned close to the ice cube, her face was almost pressed against it, and said again: "This year's summer came so early, it's really a tossing!"

Taoyao has always been greedy for cold and afraid of heat, and she is always the first one who can't stand it in summer.

"This is for you." Seeing Taoyao complaining nonstop, Caiwei untied a sachet from her waist and handed it to Taoyao.

The orange-yellow sachet is embroidered with the pattern of a lark.The embroidery is exquisite and the stitches are fine, which can be seen from Caiwei's own needlework.

"This purse is so pretty!" Tao Yao took it, put the purse on the tip of her nose and sniffed it, and she smelled a burst of fragrance.

"I put mint leaves, licorice and other things in the sachet." Caiwei said: "I wear it around my head in summer. If you really feel that the heat is unbearable, it's always better to smell it."

"In addition, mint leaves are refreshing and can prevent heatstroke."

Tao Yao's face lit up, and she immediately showed joy.Almost about to jump up, he hugged Caiwei and said, "Caiwei, you are so smart! You can still make such a good thing."

"Where is it?" Caiwei also smiled and said, "It's all taught by Ge Ge."

The astonishment on Taoyao's face became a bit more serious, and her mouth also opened wide.

Tong Jia Xili was lying by the window looking at the leisurely and peaceful scenery outside, and when they heard the two talking about themselves, she turned her head and said: "To serve the Empress Dowager, it is always good to know more about things."

"Besides, these are all superficial knowledge. Let's make a purse, and it can be regarded as a way of expressing our hearts."

For such a thing, the people around the Empress Dowager must be fully prepared.

As for Tong Jia Xili is also prepared here, then it represents another intention.

...

The time was long, and Tong Jia Xili had nothing to do, so she took the book from the shelf and flipped through it casually.

These books are all treasured by the Empress Dowager for many years.There are all the classics of the Manchu, Han and Mongolian schools, and they contain many books of wisdom in the world.

It is a pity that Tong Jia Xili is not proficient in Manchu and Mongolian, and can barely read traditional Chinese characters.

Most of the books are relatively esoteric, and Tong Jia Xili picked out one at random, which is the book "Shui Jing Zhu Shu".

The books are old and simple, but they are spotless.The pages are a little yellowed, but every piece of paper is neat and tidy, without any damage.

The Empress Dowager read a lot of books in her early years, and she has read all these books.

Outside Chuuxue Hall, Aunt Dongxue came from the direction of the small kitchen, carrying a food box in each of her left and right hands, turned around and walked into the room where Tong Jia Xili was.

Before the table table, Tong Jia Xili was holding a book and reading it carefully.

The restless and uneasy heart that was caused by boredom before has gradually stabilized and stabilized.

Aunt Dongxue didn't want to disturb Tong Jia Xili's reading, so she quietly handed the food box to Caiwei who was waiting outside, and then went to the Empress Dowager with another food box.

About half an hour later, Tong Jia Xili put down the book in his hand and rubbed his dry eyes.

"Gege looked at it so seriously that she didn't even notice that Aunt Dongxue came over just now."

Caiwei brought the food box to the table, opened the lid of the food box, and took out a plate of mung bean cakes inside.

"Aunt Dongxue brought this mung bean cake just now. Seeing that you were reading a book, she left without disturbing you."

Mung bean cake should be just out of the pan.But after leaving it for a while, there was only a little bit of residual temperature left.

The weather is hot and dry right now, and it's just right to have such a little heat left.

When a small piece of mung bean cake enters the mouth, it feels sweet but not greasy and melts in the mouth.There is a bit of fragrance and pleasant feeling in it, which is just right.

"Aunt Dongxue's skills are really good."

Tong Jia Xili admired, and secretly thought about when she would learn this skill.

...

After Tong Jia Xili had this idea, from that day on, she would go to the small kitchen of the Compassionate Ning Palace to make mung bean cakes almost every night.

But one's talent...

Perhaps it has been decided since the day of birth.

Tong Jia Xili really doesn't have much talent when it comes to cooking.

So much so that when the maids and eunuchs in the small kitchen saw Tong Jia Xili coming over, they all rushed over to ask if there was anything they could do for them.

Every time Tong Jia Xili looked at the mung bean cake that was made, she could only sigh helplessly.

One rainy night, the sky kept flashing with thunder.

When Tong Jia Xili returned to her room after giving the empress dowager a massage, the corners of her skirt and the upper of her shoes were already stained with a lot of rain.

The summer rain came impatiently, mixed with the wind and blowing obliquely, drenching the people walking under the eaves.

Tao Yao followed Tong Jia Xili all the way back, and hurriedly took off her wet clothes and changed into clean and fresh clothes.

At the other end, Caiwei also went to get clothes from the cage, and wanted to give them to Tong Jia Xili.

Tong Jiaxili's food, clothing, housing and transportation in the Compassion Ning Palace are not as good as Tongfu's, but when Caiwei and Taoyao entered the palace, Tongfu still got the grace to let them bring two big boxes of things that Tong Jiaxili was used to in the past. palace.

Among them, including those pajamas worn in the past.

Pajamas are new, after all, it's better not to get used to them.

When Caiwei came over with a clean set, Tong Jia Xili hurriedly took it and wanted to wear it on her body.

The clothes had just passed from Caiwei's hand to Tong Jiaxili's, and during the handover, something fell out of it.

A small embroidered handkerchief fell out.

"Ge Ge's embroidered handkerchief fell off."

Caiwei leaned over to pick it up, wiped it gently with her sleeve, and then put the embroidered handkerchief embroidered with roses on the table in front of Tong Jiaxili.

Tong Jia Xili put on her clothes and glanced at the table suspiciously.

The pattern of roses is exquisite and small, embroidered on the corner of the embroidered handkerchief.In addition, the whole pink embroidered handkerchief has no other decorations.

"This embroidered handkerchief..."

Tong Jia Xili brought the embroidered handkerchief in front of her, and looked at the delicate rose flower on the embroidered handkerchief, but felt strange in her heart.

Such delicate roses were actually not the kind of flowers she liked.

So let alone embroidering such a flower on her embroidered handkerchief.

As for Tong Jia Xili from the past, she didn't have such an embroidered handkerchief in her memory.

"What happened to Greg?"

Seeing that Tong Jia Xili looked a little weird holding an embroidered handkerchief, Caiwei couldn't help asking.

"This embroidered handkerchief is not mine."

Tong Jia Xili said with a little more certainty in her tone.And after he finished speaking, he became more determined in his mind.

　The incident of falling into the water mentioned at the beginning of this article will gradually come to light in the following articles.

　　Good night~
